*Built so the earth would touch the sky
Born from slaves sweat and stone supply
Four sides to one point upon high
A structure where dead kings would lie
Looks like a square, four-sided cone
As pyramid this shape is known
And from it urban myths have grown
Of mystic powers to death postpone
Powers confused with gauze and tape
Live not within a pyramid’s drape
This power lies in love not shape
For only love can death escape*
This fractal artwork was inspired by the urban legend of pyramid power. The urban legend states that anything kept beneath the footprint of a pyramid will be preserved much longer than it would under natural circumstances. The artwork combines this pyramid power with the greatest power of all, and that is the power of love. In other words, the power of love being strengthened and preserved by the power of the pyramid. Lost yet?… LOL.
This was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The original is 4800 × 4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in Apomap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apopyhsis. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below.

I love this, it’s color is very ghostly or ethereal. And the lighting only serves to prove this point. The poem goes nicely with it. Though yes the explanation only serves to confuse I had too heard that legend of the pyramid. Anyways I’ve decided to….
